Welcome to multiple Nerdgasm with your hosts, Matt Luke.
0:07
And Dan, multiple Nerdgasm, your guide to all things nerdy, all
0:20
right. More like NTV then if that's the
0:22
case. I think I just hit the record
0:25
button as well and nearly ended it straight away.
0:28
Good Lord, don't do that. No, we are recording now.
0:32
I'm actually here for the live show for once.
0:34
Laos, yeah. How's Laos?
0:39
Laos is pretty good, isn't it? Right.
0:41
Yes, it's Laos with the Lao people.
0:45
That's with the Lao people. Found that out.
0:46
That's the. Name of the country.
0:50
That's a good distinction though.
0:52
Have you tried Beer Lao so far? Is it beer Lao?
0:55
I remember being quite good. Yes.
0:57
Oh, it's OK. It's looking forward to getting
0:59
back to Vietnam for beer. Yeah, I will be having a beer
1:04
now shortly. At the moment I'm just battling
1:06
malaria. Yeah, fair.
1:10
You you mean trying not to get malaria or you have malaria and
1:13
you're. Trying not to get it and the
1:16
best way to gin and tonic is what I've heard is the best way
1:19
to stop it. Yeah.
1:21
I mean, tonic does have a kind of medicine sound to it, right?
1:25
Is the tonic No. No, there is actually quinzing I
1:27
think is in it, which is what OK is the prevention for malaria.
1:33
That's what I used to. Drink.
1:34
Oh, there you go. When they were colonizing.
1:36
The world. I was going to ask.
1:37
There you go. Yeah.
1:38
OK, that makes sense now. It is a very colonist just kind
1:41
of drink. Isn't it straight in and you'll?
1:43
Yeah. Too much.
1:46
Quinzing can make you sick. Oh, OK, Probably the gym more
1:51
than the tonic, Yeah. But it's been quite easy.
1:57
All this tonic, is there anything we could water this
1:59
down well? I've got this a little bit sick
2:01
actually, just just the gym. Thanks.
2:03
Yeah. Can you just?
2:06
We did get. Irish up this tonic for me.
2:10
We went to a really nice waterfall yesterday.
2:14
There are some really creepy people who travel not the
2:19
waterfall. Then we're going for a swim and
2:21
then there's some girls in the trip.
2:23
There was another girl who was just swimming near us.
2:25
And then there were just people staring at them.
2:30
Like just staring. And then it got to the point
2:33
where I was having to stand in between them by the guys were
2:37
trying to take photos. Like, really?
2:41
Disgusting. Look at this like don't get me
2:44
wrong, I was also having a look but.
2:47
In a respect, but there's a look and there's a look.
2:49
Right, there's a look yeah, they were just full of them staring
2:52
or they're doing the thing when I.
2:53
Leer at them, they like it, but when other people leer at them?
2:57
They can't, yeah. Also doing the thing when if
2:59
they're walking towards girls, they'll have their photo op like
3:01
this, like they're taking photos, scenery, and then when
3:03
they get closer they just come down, push the button and yeah,
3:06
it's really, really. Gross.
3:08
That's a genius. That's.
3:09
I mean, here's the thing. I've seen beautiful women out in
3:12
the wild. I know they exist, but if I want
3:14
pictures of them, I can just go on the Internet.
3:16
Like, you don't know who these women are.
3:19
Who cares? Do you?
3:21
Look back on this? Oh, there was that girl I took a
3:23
glance of once. Didn't know I was taking this,
3:26
did ya? Yeah.
3:27
She wasn't interested. No, neither was she.
3:30
She was really not interested. She didn't even see me.
3:35
Yeah. What is that?
3:37
What is that? Is that a fetish?
3:40
Women who have got no interest in me.com.
3:43
This whole group of older men just doing it.
3:46
How is it like? Like our age.
3:49
No Older, Older, older. OK.
3:53
Like fifties, 60s, I think that's.
3:56
Not that much older all. Right.
3:57
And and they can't. Use the Internet.
4:00
These these people are doing it all the time.
4:03
Yeah, right. Now, was this one of those
4:06
waterfalls where like, like beautiful young influencers all
4:11
over the world flocked to take that one perfect selfie in this
4:14
waterfall? No, no, no.
4:16
But you know, there's spots where people go and then they
4:18
strip down and they oil up and. Make a deal out of it.
4:22
You're not getting that type of photo there.
4:23
No, no. Well, it's not.
4:25
When I was there it was a little bit overcast and raining and
4:27
then it stopped when we went down a little bit further The.
4:29
Sweat. If they're not looking, you can
4:30
get one like. That.
4:31
Yeah, yeah, that's right. I think I I'd.
4:33
Probably take a few amazing selfies, OK?
4:37
Yeah, so maybe it is. You were greased up.
4:40
Yep, greased up was a lot of sweat.
4:45
Sweat and sundry. It's been my life.
4:47
Well. Yeah, I do actually lathering it
4:51
on. Well, I am, since I got
4:54
basically, I think third degree burns.
4:58
My ankle goes one night with me and come we just finished the
5:01
tour and we're just sitting up on the roof.
5:03
At night. No, no, this is the next day.
5:06
We're only. Look against sunburned at night.
5:08
Oh, OK, sure. We're up, we're up at the pool.
5:10
We're just sitting there talking.
5:11
It was overcast, it wasn't hot, so.
5:13
What are the women in the? Pool, you take photos of women's
5:16
in Pool what you do. But we're just sitting there
5:18
talking. Didn't feel anything, just
5:21
sitting there drinking beer. So there for like 3 hours or
5:23
something and then went to move and just the top of my knees and
5:25
the top of my feet just bright red and my ankle now is twisted
5:29
and I've done damage. Yeah, sucks.
5:35
The kids wear sunscreen even though it sucks.
5:38
Heat sunscreen. It does get hot in Southeast
5:41
Asia. I I don't recall ever getting
5:43
really sung. I'm sure I did, but for me, I
5:45
realized how hot it was during my first week there when I got
5:48
home from work, went into my bathroom and my soap had melted.
5:54
Yeah, that's not normal. That's hot.
5:57
Yes, One thing I have to discuss.
6:00
So I wear sunscreen, obviously, because I'm very pale and I
6:03
don't want to get burned because I'm an old man and that would
6:05
annoy me. Sunscreen here in the US fucking
6:09
sucks. You have to does it.
6:11
If you want sunscreen that doesn't ruin your fucking day,
6:15
you have to get it imported. Really.
6:17
Australian sunscreen or, or like Japanese sunscreen is good.
6:20
Yeah. For some reason American
6:23
sunscreen just. I don't know.
6:25
I don't know exactly why. I know it's a thing because
6:27
people talk about it online, It's just the sunscreen here
6:31
sucks and especially there's something in it here that it
6:37
will sting your eyes. Yeah, right.
6:39
Like oily is it or? It's it's oily and, and it's
6:43
got, like I said, there's some ingredient all sunscreens in the
6:45
US have. Corn.
6:47
You've got a lot of corn over there it.
6:48
Just burns your eyes. Like Jesus?
6:51
Yeah, not everybody. It apparently doesn't affect
6:56
everybody the same way. It fucking burns.
6:58
My own, Then you're probably right.
7:00
So. People know that this is a
7:01
thing. Yeah, if you look up, look up
7:03
American sunscreen sucks online, you'll see there's a big.
7:06
Then you're probably right. There's probably corn syrup in
7:08
there. Yeah, right.
7:10
Everything is corn syrup. But there's a whole subreddit
7:14
it's about like, how do we get non shit sunscreen?
7:17
And then you have to go to like there's like Japanese brands,
7:20
everybody in ports because I. Think we can bring some?
7:23
There's a market sort. Yeah, that's why it's like what?
7:26
Just call it not shit, yeah. I wonder why there's certain
7:30
foods that I wonder, like, Americans would fucking love
7:33
that. Like, like a halloumi burger.
7:35
Americans love that. It's cheese.
7:37
Yeah, it's a, it's a literally a burger we've made of cheese.
7:40
How do we is one of the best cheeses too, arguably I.
7:43
Mean like I know Vegemite isn't legal over there.
7:48
Is it legal? Is.
7:49
It legal? No, you can't buy or sell
7:53
Vegemite. I didn't in the US.
7:54
Yeah, well, I didn't know that well.
7:55
You think it's due to the starch or the salt level?
7:59
It's good. No, it's because it's
8:00
disgusting. No, it's amazing.
8:03
Vegemite and peanut butter sandwich with lots of butter.
8:07
Can't. No.
8:08
No, you can both fuck off then. If that's if you're describing 1
8:11
sandwich and not 2 sandwiches sitting side by side, then you
8:14
can get 2. Sandwiches.
8:17
There's a cafe I used to go to when I worked in North North
8:19
Sydney and I would order peanut butter and butter on Turkish
8:26
bread. Yes.
8:27
And now, now that I'm older and I know I just like that is so
8:32
much oil because Turkish bread is also very oily.
8:35
And oil. Delicious.
8:37
Yeah, wasn't an amazing. Yeah, I mean, it was, but I feel
8:41
like I would just. But you can take it then now.
8:44
Yeah, I'm. I'm with you.
8:45
I've got to watch my oil intake these days.
8:48
Yeah. Oh yeah.
8:49
I avoid tempura now because I'm like, I'm going to be tired
8:52
after that. I'm going to just be fucking.
8:53
I'm going to be like a piece of wet lettuce.
8:56
Well, in what a month's time I need to start my health journey
8:59
to catch up with you guys or we start.
9:02
I'll take my before photo as soon as I get back.
9:05
OK. Oh, very good.
9:06
Yeah. So I've, I've given Matt my, my
9:09
weight loss tip and that's get influenza A because you can't
9:13
keep anything down for a period of about 3 weeks.
9:16
So yeah, I put most of that back on, but I've lost all of my
9:20
muscle mass. So good.
9:23
Yes, I've got to. I've got to progress picks.
9:25
I haven't done any. I should have done progress
9:27
picks three to four weeks ago. I I am.
9:30
Yeah. It's.
9:31
A little bit. I have lost some weight while
9:33
I'm here, just straight through sweat.
9:35
Sweating it out just. Sweating it out, yeah.
9:37
Yeah, sweating it and I'm doing a lot.
9:39
Of weight, that's. Oh yeah, I'm not drinking water.
9:45
Sure, why would you? Water is what mosquitoes.
9:49
Don't drink any water. I mean that.
9:53
Is that is that is what you do if you trying to.
9:57
Do indulge in the occasional water drinking.
10:00
Water, yeah. Men for me.
10:03
Thanks. Just gin and tonic tonight.
10:05
Got to get up in the morning, yeah.
10:09
There's there's a movie I saw this week that I'd like to talk
10:13
about, but you've reminded me of a, a line and it probably my
10:16
favorite line. There's a, there's a car crash
10:20
and Detective Frank Durbin is and he says, OK, the car
10:28
obviously came off the bridge, rolled down the hill, crashed
10:31
here. And his partner goes drunk and
10:33
he goes, yeah, but just just enough to wake me up.
10:40
So you saw this movie's great. Guys, you saw her.
10:42
I did. Yeah, I saw her.
10:43
I saw her clip online that maybe.
10:45
It's available to watch in Italy.
10:48
And so off I went. Look, I'm not going to lie to
10:52
you, it's fucking stupid. It is?
10:55
Yeah, stupid. That's what it was meant to be,
10:58
though. Yo landed the same for me, but I
11:01
assume that's the the experience everyone will have and different
11:05
jokes will either land or not land.
11:08
Man, there was some fucking. There's things that I don't know
11:13
how they convinced Liam Neeson to say, but honestly, like.
11:19
Just fun now. There's a clip online I saw
11:22
where he goes into this. It's like a bar or something in
11:24
the back that tenders like you shot my brother in the name of
11:27
justice. And he goes, well, I could be
11:28
anybody. He goes.
11:31
He he was unarmed. Could be thousands of people.
11:34
He was running away from you. His back was turned.
11:37
Hundreds. Hundreds.
11:38
Yeah. He was white.
11:39
So you're Tony Fellowsi. Yeah, Yeah.
11:45
Yeah, yeah. For example, that's one, yeah.
11:48
Very funny. So good.
11:49
It's it's really good. It is the Naked Gun 4, yes.
11:55
It is not a reboot. It is not great tone change in
12:00
any way. It is just another one of the
12:02
Naked Gun movies. Love it.
12:05
More of this please. Hopefully we will if it's done
12:08
well. I really hope it does.
12:11
Yeah, I hope it does. I read that people are
12:13
disappointed because there was like, there were a lot of
12:16
rumours that Liam Neeson and Pamela Anderson were together.
12:18
Yeah. And.
12:20
And they're. They're not, apparently, no.
12:22
I I can't see those two being together well.
12:25
I. Mean the photos of them
12:28
together. Yeah, I mean, you know, but but
12:30
that's all, all press junkets of.
12:32
I mean, look at fucking Corinne Sweat and whatever.
12:37
Oh, Lois's name. There was there was some weird
12:39
stuff about them. Actually, I saw there was like
12:44
articles about her husband was pissed off because they were
12:47
behind the scenes footage and James Gunn had already yelled
12:50
cut and that she was still kissing him and then OK.
12:53
And I was like what is happening?
12:56
Yeah, I will say their chemistry is fucking intense in that
13:01
movie. I.
13:03
Mean they're both, you know you did, both of them wouldn't.
13:06
You that right exactly like what they'd be like oh OK we're both
13:09
just. Fucking hot.
13:11
And I guess he. Walked up to you in the bar and
13:13
they said sorry, my wife and I were just looking at you and we
13:16
were wondering you'd be like. We buy you a drink and have a
13:18
chat. Maybe you'd go somewhere
13:19
quieter, yeah. It's that how that works?
13:25
It's only ever happened to me once and I I had to, I had to
13:28
amazing night. But I can maybe it's not really
13:33
a maybe it's an after party story.
13:36
Damn it, I don't get to hear it all.
13:37
Right, all right, so you rate the Naked Gun?
13:44
Yeah, I do. I do OK.
13:47
Great, I'll put that on my list and watch when I get back.
13:49
Just yeah, I'll watch. This I'll try and watch this
13:51
week. Not every single joke lands, not
13:54
it's it, but what they've done, which I like, which Naked Gun
13:58
always did, as did Airplane and fucking Caddy.
14:02
All the movies from those days is it is rapid fire jokes.
14:06
So if no one's telling a joke, look around the screen.
14:10
There'll be a sight gag, you know?
14:12
What I mean like a case of because I remember going back
14:14
and re watching some of those movies you find something
14:17
different every time so when you go back the jokes that made
14:19
didn't land. They might hit differently next
14:22
time. Maybe yeah, true.
14:25
Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just an and one thing that
14:30
comedies adopt doing or like started a trend in comedies in
14:34
the the 90s that continued into the 2000s was front load the
14:39
movie with jokes then just get really sentimental in the
14:42
second-half. This does not do either of those
14:44
things. The jokes.
14:46
Are still. Funny.
14:47
Fucking yeah. It's stupid from minute one to
14:49
the fucking fight and the jokes just continue.
14:53
It doesn't slow down the the comedy.
14:55
You're not going to Adam Sandler movie.
14:57
He spends the first half being funny, but then he learns to be
14:59
a better person and then he's just not funny anymore.
15:03
Sure, now he just gave up on the funny part.
15:08
Well, yeah. Yes, although I haven't seen
15:10
Happy Gilmore 2 yet. I don't know if I.
15:14
Will Honestly, Yeah. And I loved Happy Gilmore.
15:18
Yeah, I would have got, in fact. Dan was talking about Adam
15:20
Sandler, and it wasn't until you literally mentioned Happy
15:24
Gilmore 2 that I even remembered that that exists.
15:28
Yeah, I think it came out just as I was leaving.
15:34
That's not why I didn't say. They knew.
15:35
They knew you weren't interested.
15:36
Yeah. It's released as well.
15:38
It's gone. Actually, Sandler, when I was
15:41
young and he was young, he was doing young person comedy and I
15:46
was fucking eating it up with a big spoon.
15:49
His album, you know what I mean? Oh yeah, yeah.
15:52
Medium pace. The GOAT song.
15:55
I am a symbol goat. Like it's so it was.
15:59
It just fucking hit me right where I needed to be hit.
16:03
But from like After Wedding Singer, which I think is his
16:08
last good film. Everything else is just the
16:12
same. 51st dates onwards. Yeah, I've heard.
16:17
Some of those are good. I haven't.
16:18
I don't think I've seen any of them.
16:21
I've seen enough to know I'm not interested, but if you want to
16:26
feel really uncomfortable for two hours watch the Safdie
16:29
Brothers movie. He was in Uncut Gems.
16:31
Have you seen that? Sure.
16:33
It's. Not a comedy.
16:34
No, not at all. It's really, it's just like this
16:39
intense drama, high stakes, but he's excellent in it.
16:44
But it's not the Adam Sandler you know.
16:46
No. Serious movie.
16:51
Was very serious. Oscars and whatnot, right?
16:54
I think so, yeah. I don't think he would.
16:55
I don't think for a window. If I really wanted to to to
17:01
really actually I'd he's excellent in it, but it's like
17:05
he's not even trying because a, his shtick is being deadpan
17:08
because that's what Leslie Nielsen did.
17:11
And he in fact, he rivals Leslie Nielsen.
17:13
He surpasses Leslie Nielsen in the deadpan arena goodness.
17:17
But but half the time he doesn't even do the accent.
17:22
Like he'll be doing an American accent and then just go back to
17:25
his normal Irish for a couple of words at the end of some
17:27
sentences. And like, no one called cart.
17:29
No one said anything but what? You'll know what I mean when you
17:32
say you are sure he's not even trying at this point.
17:35
He's just saying the words. Yeah.
17:36
So I don't know if I'd give him the Oscar for it but not.
17:39
Fair enough. Give him a sequel.
17:41
Do another movie. Yes, definitely give him a
17:43
sequel. I see wonderful clips right when
17:46
as a result of that, people also sharing wonderful clips of the
17:50
old police squad show and from the Naked Gun, and it's just
17:53
like, I gotta watch all those again.
17:55
So many good. Just I hate when people do this,
17:59
but I'm going to give you one more one liner from from the
18:02
movie. He's being set up and he goes
18:05
like an idiot's completed jigsaw puzzle.
18:07
I was being framed. It's a good one from the old
18:14
show that I had to see. It just made me laugh about how
18:17
just God Naked Gun. I'm just glad we got more of it,
18:20
but there's a bit more driven's like, I'm really sorry to bother
18:23
you at a time like this. We would have come earlier, but
18:26
your husband wasn't dead yet. Was that from the old one or was
18:31
that from the new old one? From the old one, Yeah.
18:33
I was gonna say that could have been from both.
18:34
The humor has not. They've.
18:36
I don't know whether they've dug up the old writers or whether
18:38
someone's just. I watched a lot.
18:40
And just staying really true to it.
18:42
But it is. Like a Midget of urinal, I had
18:44
to stay on my toes. It's from the old one too.
18:49
I forgot that it just popped into my head.
18:51
Ran him out of town like a common pygmy.
18:55
I watched something this week. Gone.
19:01
I watched Alien Earth. Which one's alien Earth?
19:06
It's the newest series as we speak, but this is.
19:11
To be clear, this is this is in the Alien universe.
19:14
Correct. It is forward to that.
19:18
It is was I. So was I.
19:21
It is a prequel to Alien. It takes place two years before
19:25
Alien. OK, well we had nothing to do
19:28
with anything then. It was a complete coincidence
19:29
that they came across it. OK, move on.
19:31
Nothing happens in this show then, does it?
19:35
No, it it's quite the opposite in fact.
19:39
Yeah, I I mean, I don't want to spoil anything.
19:41
You could spoil it doesn't sound very good at this point.
19:46
It's not very good in my opinion.
19:47
I however people are enjoying it online and I've been.
19:52
It's one of those things where I'm like, are we watching the
19:54
same show? And then I look and it actually
19:57
is very divided it. Seems like OK.
20:00
Some people really like it and some people really hate it.
20:03
OK, I mean, I wouldn't say I hate it.
20:06
I'm still watching it, but I just don't think it's very good
20:10
on on many levels. So it's.
20:13
Used. For the first alien, so is
20:16
what's the technology look like? So their opening of on a Ship in
20:26
Space looks exactly like Ridley Scott's Alien, to the point
20:30
where I got really excited and then I was like, what?
20:33
I mean this is they're just mimicking shots from Alien so I
20:36
get too. Excited because they know that's
20:38
what you want to see. Exactly.
20:39
I'll say this is good, this is good.
20:40
And I was like, well, hang on a minute, I'm being manipulated
20:43
and then. That went in very skeptical.
20:48
No, no, I was like, I was enjoying.
20:50
No, it does this thing where I don't I guess I don't want to
20:53
spoil touch. The main problems I have with it
20:54
is that people do not behave rationally in this show.
20:58
Crazy degree. Nobody like there is a fucking
21:01
alien trying to kill you and people are just like laughing
21:05
and strolling around and like like as in literally like a
21:10
sequence of horrific things happens to this person and then
21:14
they just like get distracted by something and they're like, oh,
21:17
how's it going? Like I just, it's so weird,
21:22
like. Is the premise that aliens come
21:26
to Earth? Yes.
21:28
Right. So before the Aliens movies
21:31
where everyone's like, what the fuck is that?
21:34
They've already know what they're.
21:35
Going to do I think what they're going to do is they're just
21:38
moving the whole problem back earlier, right?
21:39
Because we'd never know, we'd have to go into this too much.
21:43
But my only. Thing was always if you dial.
21:45
In sequels I was like where? So the alien right?
21:47
They get the alien and aliens and then Waylon Utah or alien in
21:51
alien Waylon Utahni wants them. I guess.
21:54
We don't know. It's kind of ambiguous whether
21:57
they knew about them specifically.
21:59
I also you gotta remember this watch read that they they didn't
22:04
know about them per SE, but that there was that directive that if
22:08
they encountered any life that their mission was off and they
22:12
had to investigate. But you also got to remember the
22:14
notion farmers that probably would have left two years more
22:18
than two years prior. Yeah, so they would.
22:21
And it's a years long trip. Yes, yeah.
22:26
So actually while the events of this movie are taking place,
22:29
they're already in hypersleep on their way back, right.
22:32
So then yet to encounter. Just a coincidence then, that
22:38
they stumbled upon one out in deep space.
22:40
Well, that's The thing is that so far this film does not
22:42
explain where they got them. So it's it happens in the
22:46
opening. So there's a ship, it's a, it's
22:47
a whaling Utani science vessel. It's been out in deep space
22:50
collecting life forms and amongst those life forms are
22:54
eggs of of the alien variety. But we don't know where they got
23:00
them yet. I don't know if we'll find out
23:01
in this. Maybe it's from LV 426?
23:05
But just to be clear, in Aliens, the second Alien movie.
23:08
Not where they came from anyway. When, when, when Ripley says to
23:13
fucking mad about you. Oh, if he's ever got to Earth,
23:16
we'd all be dead. They've already been to Earth.
23:18
He was thinking to himself. Or should I tell her that we've
23:20
already dealt with this shit? And I, I thought about that and
23:23
I was like, you know, I mean it, it doesn't ruin it in any way
23:25
because they were they didn't tell her stuff and they were
23:27
fucking with her anyway. Yeah.
23:29
So, OK, it could be that everybody in that meeting was
23:31
just like, good idea. Yeah, right.
23:34
But the other thing this show does and it that bothers me is
23:40
it points out it different. It it it draws light to a
23:44
differences between alien and aliens in a way that I don't
23:46
like because it wants to have both.
23:49
Like the alien in Alien is quite different to the aliens in
23:56
aliens when you put them too close together, because like in
24:01
Alien, it's like a menacing, slow kind of slasher film.
24:05
And Aliens is more of an action adventure.
24:06
They're very quick. And and like you just said,
24:10
Ripley says. You know, if one of those things
24:11
got down here, that will be all. But then we see in Aliens, if
24:15
you've got guns, it's actually not that hard to kill one of
24:17
them. Yeah, mate, in Alien Romulus if
24:21
you've got a baseball bat you can kill 20.
24:23
Oh, you can. You can have a you can just
24:26
wrestle one of them in this show, like as long as you're a
24:30
main, but. What if you're wrestling it
24:31
wouldn't as little mouth come out and then leave your little
24:33
mouth come out from? There, if you're a main
24:35
character, you'll be fine. If you're it can, literally can
24:38
and does in this show, go kill a room full of people in two
24:43
seconds in a comical way with blood flying everywhere.
24:46
But if you're a main character, it's going to stand there and go
24:48
all. Right.
24:50
Yeah. Like.
24:52
It's just very like, yeah, bothers me.
24:58
Yeah. I don't know.
25:00
It's not great. And it does this, there's this
25:01
weird thing. I wouldn't mind it, except it's
25:05
just odd. For Alien is at the end of every
25:07
episode they do, they're calling him like needle drops.
25:11
So for example, at the end of one of the episodes, the Alien
25:15
and they call it, they call it the Xenomorph.
25:17
I just have to get over that. That's just how it is now.
25:20
That's just what it is now, yeah.
25:22
I mean you. Lost that battle.
25:24
It's finally I lost that battle many, many years ago.
25:28
It grabs somebody, right, and then carries them off because
25:31
they're a main character, so it's not allowed to kill them.
25:33
Yeah. So it just carries them away.
25:35
Carries it off. Yeah, it carries this person
25:37
away and then someone else says I'm going after him, and then he
25:42
goes stink fist by tool and then the credits roll.
25:48
No. We're doing that now, next
25:50
episode, wherever around the room, burning this.
25:56
Yeah, like 90s metal. Wow.
25:58
At the end of every episode. I mean, that's not a deal
26:02
breaker for me. No, it's.
26:04
Unusual. It's odd.
26:05
It's odd. And have you seen this?
26:07
I thought this was a joke at first.
26:09
It's not a joke. There's a screen grab people
26:10
keep sharing saying this is an actual frame from a television
26:14
show. Alien with the I say sloth.
26:16
Yeah, yes, sit the sloth. Yeah, that is a real frame
26:19
because this, it does a lot of like cross fading and like
26:24
overly like overlays. What you know, like double
26:27
exposure. I guess you would call it in.
26:28
Oh, OK. Yeah.
26:29
But it's I mean digitally. Just do it digitally.
26:31
Yeah, they fake it, but yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah, there's tons
26:34
of that in this. Like it's some it's actually
26:36
very visually interesting. But there's but there is a scene
26:38
where so there's one character and her brother used to watch
26:40
Ice Age and so there's a scene where she's having a memory or
26:44
whatever. And then that fucking just Sid
26:45
just appears and it's and it at the time in the show, it's fine.
26:52
But when you see out of context like that, you go, that is very
26:54
funny. Yeah, I do want to.
26:57
I'm, I will. I will have to start watching.
26:59
Yeah, I think I'm going to have to watch it.
27:01
You're actually selling me on it more than you.
27:05
Maybe you'll enjoy it more now. Well, yeah, which is why I don't
27:08
mind spoilers for something that I thought I was going to hate,
27:11
because spoilers help you manage your expectations.
27:14
Yeah, yeah. It's just a lot of things where
27:16
it just seems like, like, we'll say again, this is the beginning
27:21
of the show, so fuck it. All right, so there's a whale on
27:23
your tiny science vessel. It's got these aliens on it.
27:26
Something happens. They get loose, obviously.
27:29
And then it it literally just crashes on Earth and seemingly
27:33
nobody notices that it's even coming.
27:36
OK, because nobody does it. Everyone's just living their
27:39
life. And all of a sudden this giant
27:40
spaceship just crashes the building.
27:41
Like, what fucking future is this that they not look?
27:43
They're not looking. No one's trying to shoot it out
27:45
of the sky or something. It's a space station orbiting
27:48
Earth on the way through. No one.
27:49
No. One's monitoring it, right?
27:51
Right. So that happens, but then they
27:54
send in like an emergency crew who are all armed.
27:59
Like it's like everybody in the movie knows there's going to be
28:02
an alien and it's just, I don't know the way that, like I said,
28:05
people don't behave like normal people right in A and it's just
28:10
in in a weird way. And like I said, they're
28:12
supposed to be a rescue cube. There's literally a Man on Fire
28:15
and they're just ignoring him because it's almost, I think
28:19
possibly that wasn't originally what they were doing, right?
28:23
And they've like restructured things sort.
28:26
Of around it, yeah. Yeah, because the way they
28:28
behave just doesn't make any sense, so.
28:30
Not too funny. I think maybe they.
28:32
Other than the silly things that you've already talked to us
28:36
about, does it feel like an Alien movie?
28:39
Does it feel? Is it the tone right?
28:40
Is it in the right world? Does it look right?
28:43
It looks right absolutely, especially the the I forget the
28:46
name of the ship and then later episodes you find out what
28:50
happened more on that ship and it it looks it just looks like
28:53
alien, like you know, and, and to the point where they the
28:58
people, the casting is great and the like I said, they're
29:02
clothing. It just looks like alien.
29:05
Yeah, OK. Yeah, like they've done a really
29:07
good job of of that stuff, but. Any characters linked directly
29:11
to the other movies or is it just?
29:14
Not spec, not. Thematically linked.
29:16
You see Utani? OK, Yeah.
29:19
But like that. She's not.
29:21
Do you see Waylon? No, not yet.
29:23
No. Anyway, No that that.
29:25
'D have to make some decisions about that.
29:27
No, you know other characters explicitly from the rest of the
29:33
series so far. Mentions of like companies and
29:36
things you would recognize. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
29:40
But yeah, so anyway, I'm like I said, I've, I think I, I, I hate
29:45
watch the 1st 2:00 and then after that I think I've now I'm
29:48
kind of like level set. OK, so I well, maybe it'll
29:51
start. And I was like.
29:52
Picking up from here. And it's like I said, I'm
29:54
rolling my eyes a lot at bits, but, you know, yeah, I mean,
29:58
it's not, it's not the worst alien content we've ever gotten.
30:01
It's just not not what I wanted. I'm going to watch it.
30:08
Hey, I enjoyed Aliens versus Predator.
30:10
I'm not going to go to bat for it, but at the time I was like,
30:15
it's all right, Lance. Henrickson, Princess Predator.
30:21
I I did watch a couple more always sunnies from the the
30:25
current crop. I watched the one where Dennis
30:29
and Dee are trying to sleep with the people they didn't go to
30:34
prom with in high school and end up sleeping with their kids
30:37
instead. That was.
30:38
Funny. Oh yes.
30:41
I've not seen any of the new season either, but I'm looking
30:44
forward to it. Has it been?
30:45
Pretty good, pretty good. Yeah.
30:49
Yeah, it's over the season after this that they contracted for
30:51
or. That's I think there's another
30:53
2. Yeah, I think there's more than
30:55
that. Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah.
30:56
They're throwing money at them. I can't believe we are watching
30:59
this two years ago yeah. This season is back to the old
31:06
format to where there's no continuity.
31:08
Every episode's just whatever they wanted to do in that
31:11
episode is a self-contained thing.
31:13
Yeah, yeah. There's no we're going overseas
31:16
and it'll all be in this one spot or anything like that.
31:19
Yeah, no, no, it's all just yeah, yeah, yeah, some episodes
31:24
fucking hilarious this week, this this season and you.
31:27
I was going to say you've not gotten to my favorite one
31:30
mornings. So.
31:33
OK, OK, interesting. Yeah, I got a couple more to go.
31:38
I did, however, finish Fallout. Oh yes.
31:42
So took took took me two times to watch this.
31:45
I'll still say this. First episode amazing, second or
31:48
third episode a bit boring. After that it does pick back up.
31:54
Definitely worth a watch. I just wish they'd truncated a
31:56
couple and two. I don't know you'd.
31:59
Like to refuel them one if they bolt was.
32:03
Yeah, that was interesting. That was little.
32:05
Management. Yeah, Yeah.
32:09
I was not expecting that. Yeah.
32:13
Yep, that was that was Yeah. And I liked that.
32:20
I forget the ghouls real name and not Walter Goggins.
32:23
I mean his real character's name before the blast that he decided
32:28
to do a thumbs up in a picture one day and that became the
32:33
entire logo that we have seen for Vault Boy that that was
32:37
good. And I usually hate details like
32:39
that in shows, you know, but that was.
32:42
Don't make a huge back story for some.
32:44
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Like I watched Mufasa The Lion
32:50
King prequel which is pretty good and the songs are excellent
32:54
because it's Lin Manuel Miranda and he's good at writing songs.
32:57
But there's an origin story of fucking Cypler where you find
33:01
out where Rafiki the monkey got his wiggly stick from and it's
33:04
like I'll just assumed he picked that up off the ground.
33:07
Like he did not need to show me the significance of that stick.
33:12
No. A stick, gentlemen.
33:16
Fucking mostly. Yeah.
33:19
Oh, I'll say so. One more thing I want to mention
33:20
about Alien Earth, sorry, just quickly is actors.
33:23
You will recognise actors in this that I was surprised.
33:26
So Timothy Oliphant, obviously, I think that's everybody knows
33:28
he's in it. Yeah.
33:29
Do you remember Adrian Edmondson?
33:31
His name rings a bell. Vivian.
33:34
From the young ones and the young ones.
33:37
What does he even look like these days?
33:39
He looks like a fucking evil henchman because he is 1 in this
33:43
and he's. Great.
33:45
So that made me. I'm definitely in now.
33:49
And do you remember tires from spaced?
33:52
Yes, the delivery guy with the bike.
33:54
Yeah, like the like the speeder guy, Yeah.
33:57
He's the guy. He talks like this and he's
33:59
like, yeah, he's in this. He's the main character on the
34:02
science vessel. Yeah, right.
34:05
Oh, Edmondson does not look like he is Evian.
34:09
Very serious in this, like he's great in it.
34:11
He's a very serious hard ass. OK, sick.
34:15
All right, good. That's like when we saw Mark
34:17
Hamill in. What was he in?
34:20
House of Usher. Yeah, Hearts of Usher.
34:22
Yeah. And I was like, didn't know he
34:23
could do that anyway, sorry. I just wanted to mention that
34:26
those two people in particular, I was just like, oh fuck, I
34:28
haven't seen Adrian Edmondson in 30 years.
34:33
Yeah, he looks good for right when I when I was young and I
34:37
watched those shows, he was old and so.
34:40
Yeah. And now when I see him, it's
34:42
just like he looks kind of the same.
34:45
Yeah, that's true. Baffling.
34:47
Yeah. Yeah, sorry for.
34:50
The yeah no fallout irate fallout season 2 looks looks
34:54
good too. Yeah, that's I'd still watch the
34:56
reason I went back. Yeah, don't make it, don't
35:00
worry. I want Fallout New Vegas too.
35:03
That's what I want. It's going to be so much time
35:06
between 4:00 and 5:00 that it took them to make three games.
35:09
Like it's get a bit ridiculous. I've thought about playing 4
35:15
again, it's just so big, I don't think I could go through it.
35:19
You got to commit. Even if I played it, I could
35:22
play it completely differently and it would be a completely new
35:24
game. It would essentially be Fallout
35:26
5I just know the scope of it, and I just know that there's
35:31
just too much. It's so easy to get sidetracked
35:34
and. Oh yeah, building houses,
35:38
fucking bringing pumping water for the villagers.
35:43
Yeah, I never finished four. You'll do an enhanced edition.
35:46
I'll go back. Maybe I'll go back.
35:50
Maybe I've just talked myself into it.
35:53
Would be just to plug my Xbox in.
35:55
I still haven't done that since. It's just because because the
35:59
next I want to play Assassin's Creed Shadows, but I do not want
36:04
to pay $110.00 for it. I will not do it.
36:06
I will not do it. Think it might be it's less lost
36:09
now. Oh no.
36:13
I think I would have. Luke, who's monitoring your
36:16
achievements while you're away? I am taking a hit, a big hit,
36:23
Yeah. So there's.
36:24
No way you could. I've got 2 1/2 weeks when I get
36:27
back and I'm going to be doing a huge grinding session.
36:32
Wait, OK, too much information, but you've got 2 1/2 weeks?
36:36
What? You're going to be worn out
36:37
after your trip through the brothels of Southeast Asia.
36:42
Well, I've got. I've got, I think my tour
36:45
finishes on I think the 27th or something, or the 20th.
36:51
Then I've got a few days in Ho Chi Minh and then I'm going to a
36:54
resort for a week just to do nothing.
36:56
Then I fly back to Australia on the 1st of October. 2 1/2 weeks
37:00
off after that. Yep, I get back again, get
37:05
achievements and then I head to PAX and then I go back to work.
37:11
Wow man, you. I would not.
37:16
I would. There's no universe where living
37:18
in the USI will ever get to take that time off work ever again.
37:21
That amount of time off work. I've still got money to leave.
37:25
That's so funny. I could probably take the rest
37:28
of the year off at full page. Jesus, wow, just an update.
37:34
It is not on Game Pass yet. It's still just on Ubisoft.
37:37
What is it? Ubisoft Plus if you want it, but
37:39
it is on sale right now for 7366, which is that's not bad.
37:44
I I've certainly paid more than that for worst games, so maybe
37:48
I'll consider it. Yeah.
37:53
I do have my little computer here so I have been getting some
37:55
achievements but I've not been keeping up and I dread to look
37:59
at where I'm ranked at the moment.
38:01
I want I want to play James Bond, but it's not coming out
38:04
for next year trailer. Yeah, that looks pretty good.
38:06
It looks good and I love Hitman, and this is basically Hitman
38:13
with more action. And I'm like, yeah.
38:14
Lots of explosions and stuff, looks cool.
38:18
Yeah. No, I'm looking forward to going
38:21
to get back and play Mafia. Oh, sorry, what?
38:24
I don't think it came out yet, no.
38:26
I think it's still coming soon but let me check because I'm
38:29
still on the Xbox. Yeah, actually the one this I
38:36
haven't thought this hasn't happened in a long time.
38:38
My Xbox like I said is unplugged and then the other day I got a
38:41
charge for Game Pass and for the first time in God knows how long
38:45
I thought do I need Game Pass because.
38:49
My Xbox is not plugged in. But now that we're talking, now
38:52
we're talking about indie, I'm realizing I do need it.
38:54
I just also need to make sure I play a game every now and then.
38:58
It did, yeah. Maybe it is out.
39:00
Great Circle is out, I don't think or just about.
39:04
I know September 4th. Wait, it's after that.
39:07
Yeah, that's out then. OK.
39:10
So it's out. Yeah.
39:13
OK. All right.
39:14
All right. Huh.
39:15
I like that. Yeah.
39:18
OK, great. But you already have to buy the
39:24
DLC. That's where they get Yeah,
39:26
yeah, yeah. Yeah, but that means I paid
39:29
$30.00 for the entire game, so. Yeah, that disconnect where like
39:33
with The Outer Worlds did this too, where it's like I buy the
39:35
DLC but I don't own the game, So what happens if I ever cancel
39:38
Game Pass? Like.
39:40
You own the deal, so you can you own right, But as they've shown,
39:44
you don't own the game anyway. Yeah.
39:47
Yes, you don't own. Anything that's right, you're,
39:49
you're just renting them. We're just renting everything.
39:56
There's a story I wanted to talk about, some of the few news
40:00
stories I wanted to talk about one while while Luke is with us.
40:04
This reminded me of Dan's rule about Luke with his Google
40:10
glasses. Should he ever have gotten them
40:13
those those went away, Yes, many, many years ago.
40:16
We talked about Google Glass and Dan, you said if anybody was to
40:20
come and visit you wearing them, they would need to leave them on
40:23
a hook outside the door. I'm happy to put up a hook
40:26
that's. Is that still your stance on
40:28
these? Oh.
40:28
Absolutely. Yeah, Yeah, it's still my sense.
40:30
And somebody wants, could you remember Snapchat brought out a
40:33
pair of glasses at one point? They weren't smart glasses, they
40:35
just had a fucking camera in them.
40:37
Thankfully, when it was filming, this little light started
40:41
flashing, so you could tell. But I, I had a client once who
40:45
used to just pop them on and come up and just be standing out
40:48
and you'd be like, I know you're filming me.
40:49
The fucking lights on. Well, this won't change your
40:54
mind. There's a woman who went to get
40:58
a Brazilian wax chatting with the with the beautician or the,
41:03
the the lady. Everything's going great.
41:05
And then about halfway through, she notices the, the woman
41:10
performing the the wax is wearing the meta Ray bans the
41:15
the cameras in them and she gets she shows there's a video in the
41:19
article. She tells the story on on TikTok
41:23
and she said, sorry, are you wearing meta glasses right now?
41:26
And the woman goes, oh, I am, but they're, they're not charged
41:30
and it's not recording and got defensive to the point where
41:35
she's like, well, now I feel really uncomfortable about this.
41:38
And and then later contacted the, the, the the company and
41:46
said, you know, I, I just think hopefully she wasn't, but I, I
41:49
really think you should tell them take the fucking.
41:51
Glasses off what she's doing. Here like, because that's very
41:54
creepy. Now the the the picture in the
41:58
article, these are sunglasses, but I assume you don't wear
42:02
sunglasses when you do a Brazilian wax.
42:06
I I thought that too you can get normal lenses in these, so
42:10
that's possible. But also she must have been.
42:12
What she was doing. I don't know.
42:13
I promise not to record when I give you your presuming.
42:16
Does that help at all? OK.
42:18
Yeah, it does help. I'd wire I'd I'd wonder why you
42:22
were wearing sunnies regardless. You know, if you came in with a
42:25
boy sunnies on, I'd be like, are you high?
42:27
Like if you could get. Hold on, let's just have your
42:29
lenses. Let's have a conversation first.
42:31
Oh yeah, right. OK.
42:33
Yeah, you can. I've seen them on, I think on
42:35
Amazon. You can do it too, reading
42:36
glasses or whatever. And she said she's contacted law
42:40
firms. She's not interested in getting
42:43
anyone fired if they didn't do anything wrong.
42:44
But she's basically she wants to make sure, was this woman
42:48
recording me or not? Because yeah, it's at this.
42:51
Point during this intimate act. But I don't think you're wearing
42:55
them. Yeah, like that's not the time,
42:57
but, well, I. Mean.
42:59
Unless they are prescription they're.
43:00
Just prescription and they're just their glasses.
43:02
And then maybe you need a pair of work glasses.
43:06
But then maybe they're just like fake lenses and that's what
43:08
she's in the in the thing. Nobody who couldn't help needs
43:12
glasses has only one pair of glasses.
43:15
She couldn't help thinking because this is what your mind
43:17
where your mind goes, right? Does she do this all the time?
43:20
Is she filming lots of people? Like she's like, I can't, I have
43:24
to, She's like, And so now she's like, I've got to, I have to get
43:26
these options because I. Got her other glasses, these are
43:30
only one she had at the time and the one all.
43:34
There, but she shouldn't be allowed to wear those when she's
43:38
doing that. Yeah, I think that's fair.
43:40
I think if your glasses are a camera, you shouldn't be able to
43:43
wear them. Yeah.
43:44
Yeah, anyway, the company said the Waxers Waxers glasses were
43:48
powered off at the time of service.
43:51
Because here's the thing, there's plenty of events and
43:54
situations where you can't take a phone in because a phone has a
43:57
camera. Even if you say it.
43:59
But it's my phone. I'm only using it as a phone.
44:00
No, no, no. It has a camera in there.
44:02
So it's banned here, locking away.
44:04
I don't see why this should be different.
44:06
Yeah. Like we talked about earlier, if
44:07
you've got like like women swimming and you're walking
44:10
around, Oh no, it's not turned on.
44:12
I'm just, I'm just holding it like this because I'm, it's just
44:14
how I like to hold my phone. Like I'm not recording like.
44:19
That was funny in Superman, whether Miss Tessmacher was
44:23
sending sexy selfies with clues. Oh, that's right.
44:26
Yes. That was funny.
44:29
Yes. Yeah.
44:32
That whole subplot is just very ridiculous.
44:35
It's where they're in love with you.
44:37
Yeah, yeah, I know. And then the fact that Jimmy
44:39
doesn't think she's hot. Yeah, it's very funny too,
44:42
because yeah. Oh, man.
44:43
And he's like, really her. Oh.
44:45
No, yeah, he's like. Jimmy's just Emily just can get
44:49
all the ladies that's. Well, that's that's that's in
44:52
the comics. I think that.
44:54
Yeah, but also it's great casting too, because he's very
44:57
plain. I feel any of us have Lesley
45:00
played that wrong. You know, totally cool.
45:07
Grande But evidently online women are going like, oh, he's a
45:11
bit all right. Like, what is it?
45:13
The Jimmy Olsen effect. My friend knows him, really went
45:17
to school with him, yeah. Oh shit, wow.
45:20
That's cool. Yeah, she said before, before it
45:24
came out. She said, oh, my friend's in
45:25
that. And I said, oh, OK.
45:26
And then after I saw it, I was like, hey, who's your friend?
45:28
And she told me. And I was like, oh, he's the
45:30
fucking main character. You were thinking he's.
45:35
He must be older than he's playing then.
45:37
Younger than us, Like this is the person I'm talking about is
45:40
younger than us. OK.
45:42
Yeah. I don't have any young friends.
45:45
No, I really don't. I don't.
45:47
I don't have any people that I. Don't have any old friends, I
45:51
have YouTube. Yeah.
45:53
It's pretty much of this, yeah. Yeah, that's one of the hardest
45:57
things about moving here was that I'm too old to make friends
45:59
now. So I have acquired friends over
46:02
time. Yeah, here.
46:02
But like, yeah, I don't go out. And meet people.
46:05
My problem is, it's not that I can't, although I can't, but I
46:09
also don't really want to. Like anytime somebody acts like
46:13
they want to become my friend, do you want to catch up?
46:15
I'm like, not really, you know? That means also going out.
46:20
Yeah, actually. And.
46:22
The person like I barely get enough time to play my Xbox if I
46:25
can do this or that. Like I'm not I can't add a new
46:27
thing. Yes, I have my trivia team and
46:31
the person I'm talking about is a member of the.
46:33
Trivia team. Oh, right.
46:34
Yeah, yeah. And so that's how I acquired my
46:38
friends here, yeah. Yeah.
46:39
Yeah, like every now and again I would love to play online games
46:43
with people, but then I think about no, I'd have to play
46:47
online games with people and. Yeah, and who wants to do that?
46:53
Not even with us. You don't want to.
46:56
Well, I do, but then you're going to commit to a game and I
46:59
can't do that. I've got commitment issues.
47:01
There's a lot of a lot of commitments to it.
47:03
Yeah, I agree. I agree with that.
47:05
Look before we. Move off Superman news entirely.
47:09
There's some other Superman follow up news.
47:11
Really. We we did report that Dean Cain
47:14
has joined ICE. He has already left because he
47:20
was injured. So poor little thing.
47:24
Yeah, you'll have to stop. Actually separating kids from
47:27
families for a little while while he recovers.
47:30
I did see a funny tweet from Ruby Rose that made me laugh,
47:35
she said. Because she's fucking hates Dean
47:37
Cain now and actually she's very political on Twitter.
47:41
But she said don't worry, Dean's mum called me and told me it's
47:45
just a little Boo Boo and he's going to be fine, yeah.
47:49
I was prepping for this episode and I had, and I was reading the
47:53
article and further down was a picture of him as Superman and
47:59
Harper's like, oh, Superman, what are you looking at?
48:01
I'm like, oh, I'm just reading this article.
48:02
I scrolled back up to the top. She's like, who's that?
48:05
And I'm like, oh, that's, that's Superman, just not in the suit.
48:08
She's like, that's not Superman. That's just, that's just an old
48:13
man like, well, I mean, I hate that Dean Kane has become a bit
48:19
of a a bit of a cunt because I thought he was a perfectly good
48:23
Superman back in the day. I really, I really did like Lois
48:27
and. Clark, like Kevin Sorbo.
48:28
It's like, oh, that's funny, kid.
48:30
Yeah. Yeah.
48:32
Such a strange. I never loved Kevin Sawbow
48:36
though, in the way that I loved. No, but I didn't like no, I know
48:39
that he was such a knob head like.
48:41
Yeah, yeah, yeah. And this is for you.
48:45
Oh, there it is. Yeah.
48:47
Nice. Yeah.
48:48
I remember it being a sweet. Or maybe it was just really hot.
48:51
This. Week's episode brought to you by
48:52
B Lauer. Proudly brought to you by B
48:54
Lauer. Send us a case of it.
48:57
I don't like it to start drinking with, but I can drink
49:00
it once I've had a couple. But if if you're a bit drunk
49:03
already. There's a bit of an after taste
49:05
to it that gets me. OK, yeah, rising.
49:11
The severe of the country and I support local.
49:19
Luke, I wanted to ask, what type of phone do you have currently?
49:23
I have a pixel ninefold. Matt's trying to be attempted.
49:27
Get the fold. Do you get the fold?
49:29
No I don't and I'm sticking with iPhone I've made.
49:33
Can you tell it's a fold when it's unfolded and.
49:36
Is it the scene on the middle of it?
49:38
Yeah, the vertical fold or the horizontal fold?
49:43
Vertical. OK, so it folds up into a little
49:46
square. No, no, it's so the horizontal
49:53
so I open up like a book folds. Vertically or yeah, you know
49:55
what? I'm I'm doing a very bad job of
49:57
I've inverted. I open up like a book the
49:59
question so I get a bigger screen, right?
50:02
2 phones side by side. Yes, cool, cool.
50:06
The Pixel 10 interesting to you or not?
50:09
No, because I only just got this right.
50:13
But this phone I'm not interested in any more phones
50:15
for about two to three years. Not even going to look.
50:20
Right there. But I'm enjoying.
50:21
This one, does yours have the 100 times zoom or is that an
50:26
exclusively? That might be 10.
50:28
I've got five. I've got five times by default.
50:31
I don't know if OK, but I find that anytime you go, it starts
50:36
zoomed in five times. No, no, no.
50:38
You know how you've got the you go .51 * 2, then times 5.
50:43
Just there are buttons on there only go to the five.
50:46
I don't do the manual zoom, but once you sort of get past there
50:49
it's hard to control. Right, it's hard to control
50:53
yourself. I can fucking see everything.
50:55
This is people who I know people don't know, but I, I can't help.
50:59
So first of all, the iPhone, my iPhone has three lenses.
51:02
Yours is probably the same Dan, right, three lenses, right.
51:05
One of them is quite good, the main one, the others not so
51:09
good. And you should really should
51:10
avoid using them if you, if you don't have to like the lens on
51:14
an iPhone is not great. The 5 * 1 no, no.
51:19
But then what people do is they'll just pinch and zoom all
51:24
the way in and I'm like, you be better off probably.
51:28
Like I think to just take the photo at the five and then zoom
51:32
in later. And then cross, yeah.
51:33
Because that's basically what you're doing anyway.
51:36
Yeah, but you're forcing the phone to do it on the fly in
51:39
real time, which is right. And I think maybe it does some
51:43
processing because it knows you're doing it in advance.
51:46
Maybe it does look a little better, I don't know, but I
51:49
always think you just just stick to the actual lens things, take
51:52
a photo and then zoom in if you want to.
51:54
That's all I'm doing. Just take the echo and the all
51:56
of the things are amazing. Oh yeah.
52:01
The iPhone I've got the. Searing this.
52:04
Is 15. I've got fuck.
52:05
I kind of remember where we're up to that, but main lens, but
52:09
with the portrait mode on so that it gives you depth of
52:13
field. That's as good as I have ever
52:16
expected any camera phone to be, you know they're.
52:19
Incredible. Absolutely incredible.
52:22
And because the thing like it's such a tiny little lens, but
52:26
it's the processing that it does and it's just like I can't like
52:29
even my you know, I love my Sony and it takes beautiful photos,
52:32
but it just the processing is just not there and it no to the
52:37
point where it's better. I just take raws and then I'll
52:39
fuck with it later myself. In fact, I'll let my phone do
52:42
the auto yeah on the raws for my camera.
52:46
And it gives you more of a like a smart.
52:48
Even now if I'll take a photo, I'll share it.
52:51
I can hit enhance and it'll do it'll make the phone look better
52:55
than what it was and I just, it's almost like.
52:56
You let the phone do the magic that it does on.
52:58
Yes, iPhone also has just the tap on things in the background
53:02
to make them disappear using. Yeah, it's got that as well.
53:04
That's and it's really incredible, yeah.
53:06
It's got one thing on here I haven't tried yet which is the
53:08
add me so I can take a photo and then.
53:13
You in a photo. OK.
53:14
And then yeah, this is perfect. You get a group photo and then
53:17
if you go, they get a photo of yourself standing next to where
53:20
they were. And then just go add me it'll
53:23
I'm gonna shop you in. See, that's what I'm talking
53:26
about, OK, that's why I put this article in here, right?
53:27
Because this stuff right? So that that's interesting and
53:31
clever, but it didn't happen, right?
53:34
And so that's this weird disconnect.
53:37
I feel like a lot of stuff in the world is is like this now,
53:41
right? Like that didn't happen.
53:43
It's like that you get the Samsung thing where if you take
53:46
a photo and it figures out the moon is in it, it'll just
53:48
Photoshop the moon in over the because you know, because you
53:53
can't take a photo with the moon with a smartphone camera.
53:55
You just cannot. And then when the Samsung's, the
53:58
newer Samsung's came out, like one of someone I know was like,
54:01
look at these moon photos and I was like, how the fuck?
54:04
And I looked it up. It's just it's not super.
54:06
Imposed. Yeah, it's.
54:07
Literally a picture, like a fucking moon picture from
54:09
Wikipedia and it just. Sticks it in there.
54:11
Like it just knows and then and they're like.
54:13
Even dead one style. And then this, that thing you're
54:17
talking about, add me into the photo.
54:19
I'm like, well, that's weird, isn't it?
54:21
I don't think I would want to do that because it's it didn't
54:23
happen. It's it's literally forgetting
54:26
good photos, not preserving memories.
54:30
So, and then this, this 100 times zoom thing now, right?
54:33
So the new Pixel 10s can do 100 times zoom, which sounds
54:37
incredible. It's, it's AI, it's not real.
54:40
So what it'll do is you zoom all the way in, it looks like
54:45
absolute shite and it just goes, oh, that's probably a tree
54:48
that's probably there. And then it just AI generates.
54:52
One thing I am looking at doing is like with some of the photos,
54:55
there are like absolutely beautiful places, but there are
54:58
people in the photo that you can't get around.
55:01
Now you just go remove those people.
55:03
Yeah, but but the people were there.
55:05
That's what I can't. My brain is just like I, I, I
55:08
cannot reconcile this because it's like, that's not what
55:10
happened. But.
55:12
This is when they when they talked to the Samsung, they had
55:15
a photo about this stuff. The Samsung CEO, I thought gave
55:18
a pretty good answer, which was that we think people want to
55:22
remember things the way they were in their head, not
55:25
necessarily the way they actually were.
55:27
And I was. Like I'm thinking.
55:29
Fucking infuriates me but he's. Probably right, but that's to
55:32
me, it's the it's because feelings are more important than
55:36
facts now, just across the board.
55:38
That's why when you go to your weather app, it doesn't tell you
55:40
what the weather is. It tells you what it feels like.
55:42
It factors in the humidity. And it's like this is this is
55:46
not, this is 2025 bullshit. It's no, this is, I think it's
55:50
nice to get photos because the photos more so to remind you of
55:53
what was there and in your mind you're going to remember a bit
55:56
differently and. It's not reminding you of what
55:59
was there. It's it's fake.
56:01
That's why it's reminding you of what you wanted it to.
56:03
Be I really don't remember on this.
56:06
At fucking 8 AMI took photos and there were no people in them and
56:09
there really were no people. But like now it's like were
56:13
there or did I just remove them later like?
56:16
I'd much rather. I just started like. 4:00 AM to
56:19
go to anchor. What to get sunrise photos.
56:21
There are people absolutely everywhere.
56:25
That's not the part I want to remember.
56:26
I want to remember this beautiful sunrise shop and I
56:32
don't. I don't want to be reminded.
56:33
Of his pack, you're you're creating a fake one.
56:36
Well, no, because. I know, I know.
56:38
What if he painted? If he stuck stuck up an easel
56:41
and painted, he's not going to paint every tourist in, is he?
56:45
My memory isn't about the people, the thousands of people
56:48
that were there. My memory is about Angkor Wat.
56:52
Yeah, and the beautiful women that were swimming in the.
56:55
Water in the water that I was just taking photos of.
57:00
Someone's photoshopping you out of photos.
57:03
Actually, no, I've had quite a few people ask for photos with
57:06
me. Oh yeah, they'll be adding you
57:09
into their photos. Yeah, yeah.
57:11
There's Add Me and then there's Add Luke.
57:13
That's the other button. They're getting this 100 times
57:16
zoom. I think that on Reddit some
57:18
people posted examples of it that were very funny because it
57:20
will turn things into things that they are not.
57:23
For example there. Was one where they zoomed in and
57:25
there was just a bit of tree sticking up behind something and
57:28
it turned it into an eagle. And so there was just an eagle
57:31
in the photo. Now that did not exist and I
57:34
just find the whole thing very dystopian.
57:37
I think that I'm a fan of. It is so you can zoom in and
57:43
then if you if you can't read something, you can zoom all the
57:45
way in and it'll enhance the thickness.
57:47
But is that what it actually says?
57:49
Or is that Yeah, I wouldn't trust.
57:50
That it fucking came up with like.
57:54
I think that's what we've been talking about now.
57:59
My my sort of my team's profile pic is AI generated because when
58:04
I when I switched over to my management role that I'm
58:08
currently in, they were like, so you need to change your pic.
58:12
It's like it was a pixel the pixel version of me before.
58:18
You need to be more professional now.
58:20
And I added myself a. Little bit more professional,
58:22
but I don't like I don't wear like this is the poshest shirt I
58:27
own. Do you know what I mean?
58:27
Like I don't have yeah, businessy type stuff.
58:31
So I did have I just looked in my phone for a decent picture of
58:34
myself, like where I liked the way I looked and the lighting
58:37
and I literally just opened it up in ChatGPT and said fucking
58:40
put a shirt on me and it did. And that's my picture.
58:43
But it's not a picture of me. It's it's what AI thinks I might
58:46
look like in that shirt. Like so you know the lines are
58:52
blurry. I just find it all very strange.
58:57
Like I said, I don't. No, it is strange, I agree with
58:59
that. Yeah, that whole adding yourself
59:02
into photos, I don't know if I like that.
59:04
I feel like that's. It's funny because a girl asked
59:06
me to do that 15 years ago, that she was like, you know, the girl
59:10
at my work was like, do you know how to use Photoshop?
59:11
I said yeah. And she said my friends all went
59:14
out without me. Can you Photoshop me into this
59:17
picture? I guess, yeah, I don't know.
59:23
So she just wanted it was a really nice picture of all her
59:25
friends and she just wished she was in it.
59:26
It wasn't so that she could pretend she was someplace or
59:29
anything, she just wanted that photo to exist.
59:31
I think the idea behind it is like if you're out with a group
59:33
of people and there's no one else to help take the group
59:35
photo for you, you take the photo, someone then takes a
59:38
photo with you, and then you sure shared experience like you
59:41
were all there. Yeah, I guess you're right.
59:45
That's pretty funny. I guess I'm just thinking about
59:47
it differently. Like my photo my, because I'm
59:50
having, I just have trouble wrapping my brain around that
59:52
because I'm like, to me, a photo is like a, like it's a, you
59:57
know, literally a recording of physical reality.
1:00:01
Whereas now they're not. They're like.
1:00:04
Vibes almost like. An artist's impression of that
1:00:09
moment. Yeah, this is what it.
1:00:11
This is what it felt like that night.
1:00:13
Not like, yeah, this is literally what fucking happened.
1:00:15
And I guess you're right. Arguably that might be better
1:00:17
because I look back on photos like, oh, that was a really good
1:00:20
night out. I look at the photos and I go.
1:00:21
Fucking hell yeah. We are we are fucking trash bags
1:00:26
like so I don't know. I just find it very, like I
1:00:31
said, hard to, I wrap my head around and then like this, this
1:00:35
100 times zoom thing and it's going, oh, it's great.
1:00:36
It's like just zoom zoom. No, it's not zooming in.
1:00:39
It literally just makes it up. Yeah, like that I that I agree
1:00:42
with you on that one. If it's just making it up,
1:00:45
that's not capturing anything and making a change that's.
1:00:48
Just fabrication. Like it's like, yeah, that's
1:00:51
probably this. That's yeah.
1:00:52
But I just find it very weird. Welcome to the future.
1:00:57
Yeah. Apparently where nothing is
1:01:01
real. You know where things are real,
1:01:06
The after party. You know what's going to be in
1:01:08
the other party. Not me.
1:01:13
So if you like the idea of a bit of this show but without Luke
1:01:16
become a patronpatreon.com/theafterno/multi
1:01:22
orgasm, that's a different. Show, don't go there.
1:01:24
Don't give. Them money, that's right.
1:01:27
It may even be R Kelly. You may be funding R Kelly.
1:01:30
So don't do that. Do not do that.
1:01:35
Why don't he die? I.
1:01:38
Don't think so did. He was he in jail?
1:01:39
I think he still. Enjoyed one of the two, right?
1:01:41
Yeah. I forget who's dead and who's in
1:01:44
jail. That's all for this week.
